Bible Note: Final point: Sin is anything not of faith (Rom 14:23). Obvious sins such as fornication, adultery, lying, coveting, stealing, murder, lust, etc...are indeed sins, however the most egregious sin a soul can commit is to build in what is seen/the mammon system. To find your life is to lose it and to lose your life is to find it (Matt 10:39) Apostate Christians say, "well, God has given me these talents (as He did the wicked servant)and he has helped me get my education, career, etc...but again there is only one "foudational problem", the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob doesn't sow or reap in the mammon system. Apostate Christians reason, "Well, we may not live just like Jesus, the Disciples, or the First Century Church, but we are still doing good works." Oh, really? Woe to them that call good evil and evil good...It is obvious what the church is doing isn't "good" because they are using the same principles, methods,and means as the world, and they desire and claim God "blesses" them with the same things the world desires and calls blessings. Please read Colossians 2 to see the faithlessness of this... "Handle not, Taste not, and Touch not"...amen and amen One "Very Important Point" is that the Physical Jews were desring and "Earthly Messiah" to give them victory over their earthly enemies. Now, why would they want this? Well the answer is obvious...They wanted to rule politically, socially, academically, and have "heatlh and wealth prosperity just as the Apostate Church does today. A few more things to chew on: One, Solomon, who was the wisest man ever to live, declared everything of this world "meaningless". So, my question to "Professing Christians" today is, "Why are you trying to find "meaning in a meaningless world"? Jesus, Paul, and all other True Crucified Christians in the Bible came to the same conclusion. Also, Paul said that, "The Wisdom of this world is foolishness to God", yet "Professing Christians" are building their towers of academic accomplishments. Question is, why? Thanks again, for responding...and please understand I share boldly the truth in love because "Only the truth sets a soul free". Error enslaves and holds a soul captive to the seen world/the mammon system. I hope the truths Christ has shared through me are edifying... |
